Bottomline Despite rather conservative styling, the 2009 Saab 9-3 is one of the boldest performers in its class. The C70 fills the space of the former Coupe (discontinued in 2002) and the Convertible (discontinued in 2004). It's less sleek than the cars it replaces, and while it's a little plain, the C70's shape is clean and well detailed with a minimum of clutter.
